A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Hurrairah through a different chain of narrators. This version adds:

The narrator Hasan b. “All said: The transmitters have differed in the wordings (of this tradition) reported to me. Some said: He (Ma’iz) was tied to a tree, and others said: He was made to stand.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، بِنَحْوِهِ زَادَ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ رُبِطَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَقَفَ ‏.‏
